Flightline guys are talking about it. Planning to send it to 10A for gas and go. Just passing ARMEL now.
2005- Visual on the REACH-373T, a C-17 approaching ARMEL. 119.85
Another ramp freeze is coming up. I've heard mentions of AF-1 and AF-2.
You've got a typo on the REACH numbers...
REACH 737T = C-17A, 00-0175, 62nd AW McChord (Agree Travis...he sure did spit them out rapidly)
Ramp freeze at Andrews upcoming at 2035 local time:
AIR TERMINAL RAMP FREEZE. 30 MAY 00:35 2008 UNTIL 30 MAY 01:05 2008. CREATED:
28 MAY 21:09 2008
Here we go with another Navy freq change at Andrews per NOTAM;
NAVY BASE OPERATIONS (NSF) NEW UHF FREQUENCY IS NOW 362.9. 16 APR 10:50 2008
UNTIL 16 JUN 23:59 2008. CREATED: 16 APR 10:52 2008
I heard a Navy transport arriving at ADW a couple of hours ago contact the AF Command Post on 141.55 and was complaining about not being able to reach the Navy CP and asked that a message be passed to them. He must have been on the old freq.
And Andrews found it necessary to post this NOTAM:
ALL INBD ACFT CTC COMMAND POST 30 MINS OUT WITH NUMBER/CODE OF
DV'S, DUTY/SPACE-A PAX, LOAD MSG, BLOCKTIME, ETD, AND RQR. 22 MAY 18:40 2008
UNTIL 18 AUG 23:59 2008. CREATED: 22 MAY 18:43 2008
2028: SPAR 20 (C-9C, 73-1683, 73rd AS Scott)...ETA 40 past the hour, 28 SOB, 10K on the fuel...will refuel after dropping pax...w/ADW CP...378.1
2029: RIDER 01 (C-17A, 06-6168, 512th AW AFRC Dover) departing Dover and climbing...must be the 512th AW Wing Commander on board or piloting the plane based on that suffix.
2036: SPAR 20 on right base to runway 19R...w/ADW Tower...118.4
2037: Heard a JAKE 14 w/Dover CP but missed his message...that should be a KC-135R from the 153rd ARS MS-ANG Meridian...349.4
2038: CRAB 55 (C-130J, 98-1355, 135th AS MD-ANG Martin State) has been flying around the area for quite a while...just heard him with Phillips AAF Tower...126.15
2041: Air Force Two w/ADW Tower for landing...standby gear...118.4
I don't believe he's on his normal plane (98-0002)...looks like he's aboard C-37A, 99-0404.
2044: AF 2 reports gear down...118.4 (Yes, it's apparently the C-37A)
2044: DC-ANG F-16 BULLY flight working with Norfolk TRACON reporting FL 220...353.7
2048: BLACKJACK 1 (HH-65, USCG) to HUNTRESS announcing training mission w/BLACKJACK 2...says they'll notify HUNTRESS when it's time to RTB...HUNTRESS acknowledges...228.9 (As usual, HUNTRESS loud and clear on this freq. I hear nothing when they use the 260.9 freq but always hear them on this one.)
2050: REACH 1815 (C-17A, 01-0193, 437th AW Charleston) departing Dover and climbing to assigned altitude.
2102: BLACKJACK 2 to HUNTRESS to report airborne and will work with BLACKJACK 1 for the next hour...228.9
